My Healthy Morning Routine at 54

My mornings used to be chaos. Now they run the same way every day.

Number 7 is the one most people miss. It works best on top of the others, so don't skip ahead.

Here’s what helps me

✿
  1. 1

    Water before anything else

    You wake up a little dry.

    How to: A full glass of water before coffee.

  2. 2

    My probiotic

    Feed your gut first.

    How to: One capsule with water, every single morning.

  3. 3

    A walk before breakfast

    Before it gets hot and before the kids are up.

    How to: 20 to 30 minutes, any pace.

  4. 4

    A high protein breakfast

    It keeps me full for hours.

    How to: Eggs with salsa, or Greek yogurt with berries.

  5. 5

    Coffee after breakfast

    Not on an empty stomach.

    How to: Enjoy it after you eat.

  6. 6

    Five quiet minutes

    Before the day takes over.

    How to: Sit outside, breathe, and plan the one thing that matters today.

  7. 7

    The one most people miss

    My whole morning routine starts the same way: one little capsule for my gut, before the kids are even up.

    Here’s why: lots of probiotics die in stomach acid before they ever reach the gut. Mine comes in a delayed release capsule made to get through the stomach, with 10 strains and a prebiotic to feed them.

Quick questions

How long until I feel a difference?

For me, my stomach felt calmer over the first week or two, and by a month it was just my normal. Everyone is different, so give it a full 30 days.

Is it hard to take?

No. One capsule a day, with or without food. No powder to mix and no taste. I take mine with my morning water.

Is it worth the money?

I thought it would be pricey, but it’s usually $24.97, goes on sale a lot, and it’s $17.49 right now. That’s about 58 cents a day, less than a cup of coffee.

Can I take it with the rest of my routine?

Yes, I take it alongside everything on this page. Simple is the point: one capsule, then I get on with my day. If you take medication, read the label and ask before you start.
